2020 Map of Wig Mountain

About this map

The Great Salt Lake Desert dominates this 2020 topographic record of Tooele County, reflecting a landscape defined by expansive salt flats and isolated desert ranges. The central elevation of Wig Mtn rises sharply from the surrounding basin, providing a distinct geographic anchor in an area otherwise characterized by extreme horizontal distance and minimal vegetation. To the northeast, the southern extent of the Cedar Mountains enters the frame, showing the complex contouring of these arid peaks. Access to this remote environment is primarily facilitated by N Wig Mountain Rd, which skirts the eastern base of the mountain. This survey captures the specialized land use typical of the region, where the harsh environment of the desert basin meets the steep relief of Utah's Great Basin ranges.
